If you think that people migrate from secure licensing technology A to secure licensing technology B mainly for pricing reasons, you’d better think again. With 30 years of practice in this field under our belt, we have been watching the market closely, and our own statistics tell a different story. For most of the cases we were called in to advise, the main trigger had to do with more complex protection and/or licensing needs that the ISVs had to comply with. Whether these were goals they set themselves to gain a stronger market positioning or the result of discussions the ISVs were having with their clients, whether the system the ISVs were migrating from was homegrown or from a dedicated DRM supplier, the result was always the same: technology demands had increased to such a critical point that the existent solution could not keep up. Upon reaching that fork, the ISVs could develop a custom upgrade and stray off course from their own corporate mission, or look for a mature, interoperable, comprehensive, and widely adopted technology, developed independently by a fully dedicated vendor.
